Now that Disney+ has removed the undeserved, hefty price tag off of their latest live action remake, I felt it deserved its chance to be seen. The announcement to pull its release from theatres all over the world, was given quite the sour response. Not only from those wanting to return to the theatres after […]

Mank – Review
I guess there’s only one way to really start off my review for Mank. I’m likely to lose any remaining credibility I may have by stating this, but I have never seen Citizen Kane. Like most however, I’m fully aware of its cinematic importance, and the footprint it has left on filmmaking ever since its […]
Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey – Review
It would appear that Netflix wants you in that early Christmas spirit, with the recent influx of festive themed originals hitting the streaming service this past week. Of that fast growing list, none seem to provide that ‘Christmas classic’ potential quite like David E. Talbert’s, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey. Set in the Victorian era, […]
Color Out of Space – Review
In a year that has been as bonkers as this, it seems only fair that we get a movie, as bonkers as this. Nicolas Cage, Alpacas and a lot of bloody fun. Don’t unfasten your seatbelts just yet guys, this year has one last curveball to throw your way. Devoted farmer and family man Nathan […]
The Trial of the Chicago 7 – Review
“This is the academy awards of protests and as far as i’m concerned, it’s an honour just to be nominated” – Lee Weiner Courtroom dramas appear to be as ingrained into American culture as The Star-Spangled Banner, baseball and grilled-cheese. And the trial of ‘The Chicago Seven’ is perhaps one of the most famous in […]
Hubie Halloween – Review
It seems with every breath of fresh air we get from Adam Sandler (Uncut Gems, The Meyerowitz Stories), we immediately revert back to his humourless ‘Happy Maddison’ phase. Hubie Halloween is no exception, as it indulges us with the same tired gags served up by the same recurring suspects. Sandler is Hubie. A social outcast […]
Vampires vs. the Bronx – Review
A light opener to kickstart your spooky season. Netflix’s latest kid adventure is all about the gentrification of the Bronx. Birthplace and home to a group of young teenagers that aren’t willing to see their neighbourhood go down without a fight. They soon realise however, that they may have bitten off more than they can […]
Enola Holmes – Review
Whilst the story of Sherlock Holmes has taken many forms both in television and film over the years, the story of his younger sister Enola, has rarely seen the light of day. Starring Netflix star child Millie Bobby Brown as the title character, Enola Holmes forces Sherlock to take a backseat, in favour of the […]
The Devil All the Time – Review
Netflix’s The Devil All the Time is a gothic, mid-western drama that boasts possibly the biggest cast ensemble so far this year, but frustratingly doesn’t know what to do with it. An over-arching story that spans three decades during post war America. Corruption within the local police force, sinful shortcomings upon the town’s church, and […]
#Alive – Review
If there’s one thing Korean cinema seems to be doing much better than Hollywood recently, it would be how they treat the zombie horror genre. In 2016 we got Train to Busan. A movie that reignited my lost love for the genre as a whole. Quickly followed by the also impressive, animated prequel to said […]
